Buttered Pecan Crème Brulée Recipe
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
6 tbs butter
1/3 cup granulate sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
4 tsp vanilla bean sugar
1 premium ONLYVANILLA.COM vanilla bean, split lengthwise
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In small sauté pan melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add pecans
and toast to golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
In medium sized non-stick sauce pan, add the scrapings and empty pod of the
ONLYVANILLA.COM vanilla bean (of your choice), heavy cream, 4 tablespoons
butter and granulated sugar. While whisking, bring to a boil. Watch closely to
avoid boiling over of the pan. Remove from heat.
In medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and light brown sugar until smooth.
Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into egg yolks to temper. Slowly
whisk the remaining cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Stir in the toasted
pecans.
Fill ramekins or custard cups 3/4 full of the mixture. Place filled cups in roasting
pan large enough to cover the cups half way up with water. Place roasting pan
in lower part of preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until soft set. Remove
from pan and let cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
About an hour before serving, turn oven broiler on high and remove the cups
from the refrigerator. Evenly sprinkle about a teaspoon of sugar on top of each
cup. Place cups on baking sheet and place upper rack under broiler. Watch
very closely until sugar is caramelized. Remove from broiler and let sugar
harden for about 10 minutes.
(Note: You can also caramelize the sugar manually if you have a culinary torch.)

3/4 cup water

Homemade Pure Vanilla Extract Recipe
Ingredients
3 - 5 whole ONLYVANILLA.COM vanilla beans
1/2 cup of 35 to 40 proof clear vodka
Preparation
Split the ONLYVANILLA.COM vanilla beans lengthwise from one end to the other
then cut them crosswise in 1/4 inch pieces. Place the cut beans in a small bottle
with good tight lid. Add the vodka to the bottle and shake vigorously. Put the bottle
in a cool dark place (not in refrigerator) for 2 to 4 weeks before using. The longer
it sets the better the extract gets. Shake the bottle every day or two during the
waiting period. This will make some of the best vanilla extract you have ever
tasted. As you use the extract, simply add another chopped bean and add move
vodka to the bottle for an almost endless supply of vanilla extract. Although this
extract will have the beautiful flecks of vanilla seeds, be careful to not include the
pieces of bean pods in your recipes.
Hint: Try mixing different beans for a unique blend of vanilla extract.
